XF 2.2 Is there a gain in speed for 2.2 over 2.1?

Thinking whether I should upgrade my forum.

Don't upgrade your production forum to beta version.

One day, XF 2.2 will be stable. At that point, you should upgrade your forum.

To answer your specific question on performance, there will be some perceived performance gains by virtue of some of the features we've implemented including lazy loading images.

It's still in development phase but I'll try to make it live in August. Actually I just upgraded it and I couldn't load the admin page.. it's filled with errors.

I restored the backup.

Seems I'd better focus on 2.1 then.

Are you going to report those errors to us so we can potentially help you or others in the future?

I'll check if it's the compatibility issue of add-ons first.

As I had to find out while using the lazyload option in siropus Ad Manager, since lazyloaded content seems to be penalized by Google as Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) and had a really painful impact on my indexed pages and search results in Google, does your implemantation add up to this problem? I am not quite sure which exact signals trigger Googles penalty system here, so I´ld be glad if you could clearify and share with us what you know about that.

Shouldn’t be an issue as most things have dimensions specified which prevents reflows.

CLS penalties only affect the above-the-fold first load content. For lazy loaded ads (above the fold), the solution is to just put them in a fixed height div.
